Just a regular Monday
Aug. 5th, 2002 04:37 pmI got my cellphone bill and decided that since I rarely use all the minutes I get, I'd check their website to see if I could get a cheaper plan. According to their website (Sprint) I have a cheaper plan than their cheapest one. Guess I won't fiddle with it. It is a critical toy. I had long distance taken off my landline when the taxes and surcharges added up to $10 even when I made no long distance calls at all. So the cellphone is my only long distance. It also doubles as a modem to my PDA when I'm on the road which is nearly never but I like the insurance.
I finished up a huge simpleton web project today. Well, I didn't finish, but I almost did. The rest is piddly.
A while back, I built a pretty cool web page that uses some asp code to read a directory and an inline frame to display the txt file of choice. It's a really clever piece of work, I must say. It's so clever that I cannot for the life of me remember how I did it! Now someone wants the same sort of treatment for another set of small text files. I'm going to have to go back now and reverse engineer the sucker to see how I did it.
Ahhh Monday

Information Technology
Aug. 5th, 2002 04:39 pmA couple of weeks ago I got the wireless card to connect me to the internet in a nearby coffee shop. I got excellent reception and could surf with ease as well as handle email chores on my IPAQ. Today our two IT guys (who are really fun and very bright) carried their laptops down there to try it out themselves. They called me about 30 minutes later and started asking questions. So I trotted over. They were all hunched over their laptops - with an instructions sheet! I really laughed at them. I fired up the IPAQ and, sure enough, no go. While they were changing settings and tweaking this and that, I went up to the barista and said 'your network up?' and he said 'not really... we're having DSL problems'...
I told them both this afternoon that I will honestly not be rubbing their noses in this misadventure forever. For probably 50 years or so but not forever.
